Structural Solutions for Exhibits and Events

Highmark was established in 1998 by its parent company, ICON Exhibits and its sole shareholder, Michael Parrott, in response to the need from a key customer for specialty exhibit components. The market demand for light-weight, flexible exhibit components drove the formation of a separate division within ICON Exhibits. In 2006, Highmark Technologies, LLC was formed as a separate legal entity.

Highmark has a strong history of product innovation. Beginning in 1981 and continuing every few years, the Company has introduced new products that have had a significant impact on the industry. Exhibit products such as ExZact, ExpoDeck, QuicDecx, Kontur and the MAX multi-wall, offer superior design and flexible, light-weight, re-useable and easy-to-install features required by industry leaders.

Highmark has built on its reputation as an industry leader in the design and manufacturing of exhibit systems components. Beginning in 2010 Highmark moved toward a 100 percent direct sales model. In 2012 the Company launched its new corporate brand, Highmark TechSystems, brought all of its sales and marketing activity in-house, added sales personnel, and hired a vice president of operations. In 2014 Highmark moved into a new, expanded state-of-the-art manufacturing facility which doubled its square footage and added key equipment that positions the Company to continue to develop and produce, in-house, innovative structural solutions. The Company’s management succession was solidified in 2014 with the appointment of Deborah Parrott as its president.

Today, Highmark TechSystems has grown to a freestanding entity, respected for its superior products, its modular systems expertise, its culture of innovation and its excellent service.
